Lip blush questions.
Will my lips be swollen after lip blush?
Some swelling for 1 to 2 days is normal. Cold compresses help, and most people are back to normal plans by day 3.
Can I get lip blush if I get cold sores?
Yes, with a plan. If you have ever had a cold sore, ask your doctor for an antiviral such as Valtrex. Start it 3 to 5 days before your appointment and keep taking it after, because lip tattooing can trigger an outbreak.
How long does lip blush last?
Lip blush usually lasts 1 to 3 years or more before it needs a color refresh. It depends on your skin type, lifestyle, metabolism and how closely you follow aftercare.
